COMPOSER: choose the command line php you want to use. There is nothing there

Question

I'm using the Composer Windows installer and it brings me to this window,

There is nothing in the dropdown, but I'm not sure where to pick the correct command-line PHP. Should I direct it to the php.exe in XAMPP folder?

Solution 1

If you are using wampp do this:

1. Click the browser button.

2. Then select your file path like following path.

(C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.exe)

If you are using xampp do this:

1. Click the browser button.

2. Then select your file path like the following path.

(C:/xampp/php/php.exe)

Solution 2

Yes you have to select php.exe from your xampp folder if you are using localhost. choose this path... xampp > php > php.exe

I came across the same screen. I'm using Vertrigo Server and all the things that I have done was pick the php.exe file path by clicking on "Browse..." button (on my machine it is on C:\Program Files\VertrigoServ\Php\php.exe). Hope that helps.

If you are using Ammps on Windows, you can click Browse -> 'C' -> Program Files -> Ammps -> 'Your PHP Version' -> php.exe, Worked for me.
